Default Shift Problems HELP
I have a "02 Sportster 883/1200 with 12k miles on it. The bike has ran great until yesterday I had a problem getting the bike into 3rd gear about every other time and once or twice into 4th. She doesn't grind or make funny noises when it does go into gear. I just have to pull up with my foot twice to get her in there. I was hoping to get some idea of what to check before I took it into a HD dealer and take a bath!
I am brand new (IGNORANT) to the motorcycle experience and I'm not sure what to check first. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
